Biography[]
Bradstreet entered the comic book industry in 1990, working with Tim Truman on Dragon Chiang.
Bradstreet’s work on White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade garnered him much critical praise. This, in turn, led to the addition of many major comic book publishers to his clientele. He has since drawn for scores of comics-related projects including Dark Horse's Hard Looks and Another Chance to Get It Right (with author Andrew Vachss), Star Wars, Clive Barker's Age of Desire, Marvel's The Punisher and Blade, and Vertigo’s Gangland, Unknown Soldier, Human Target, and Hellblazer.
Bradstreet's work has also extended to games of many types. His work on role-playing games has included GDW's Twilight 2000 and FASA's Shadowrun. He has involved in art design for the Activision's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines video game. He illustrated cards in Last Unicorn Games' CCG Heresy: Kingdom Come.
Bradstreet was awarded the 1996 International Horror Guild Award for Best Artist. He was also nominated for a 2005 IHG Award for his Hellblazer covers. Bradstreet has also been nominated for the 2002 Best Cover Artist Eisner Award for his Hellblazer covers.
In 2000, he joined director Guillermo del Toro as a conceptual artist helping work on the visual design for the film Blade II. In 2003, Bradstreet worked on a number of movie posters for the Marvel/Lions Gate film, The Punisher, as well as the cover for The Punisher: Countdown mini-comic that was packaged with the original DVD release. In 2006, Bradstreet provided artwork for a black and white stop motion animated scene set in Kuwait for the extended cut DVD. Bradstreet has also done posters for the films – Punisher: War Zone, Dark Country, Give 'Em Hell, Malone, and I Melt with You. He has done a poster for the TV Series The Expanse.
Bradstreet was also the regular cover artist for two books, Marvel's The Punisher and Vertigo/DC's Hellblazer. He has created over 70 covers for both books in the past five years.
In 2006, Bradstreet created the controversial album art for British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's album A Matter of Life and Death, which featured a mob of skeleton soldiers walking in front of a tank and features Eddie, the band's mascot at the top of the tank with a Thompson M1/M1A1 pointed up in the air.
